Delayed

So as people have been chatting with me the last few days, they've been saying that they're sorry that I'm going through such a hard time with the border, and that i don't know whats going on. I've been wondering why people think that I'm frustrated... cos I'm really not. There are a few frustrating things about the situation I'm in, but I'm generally pretty content to wait on God's timing for this whole thing. It wasn't my idea to go to New Jersey in the first place, so it sure ain't gonna be my timing that determines the best day to leave.

I figure its because I'm generally an impatient person, so maybe people assume I'm impatient about it. Or maybe people are just getting frustrated for me...I dunno. If you're one of those kind souls that care about me enough to get mad about the situation...thank you. I'm okay though really. I mean its not like life is peachy, there are other issues going on...but with regards to the border crossing - its all good. I'm excited to go eventually, but will be sad to leave home.

The piece of mail we were hoping for today...didn't arrive. We should get it monday or tuesday. if I get the letter before noon, I'll boot out and get into Calgary before dark hopefully. If all goes well, maybe I'll make it to my first Skyline service next Sunday...

We'll see how it goes. I'm getting used to life in ministry. Its never predictable, and being flexible is so key to maintaining a good attitude about everything. Each day I'm involved in this, I realise the deep truths of Isaiah 55:8:

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
